Flat pedometer

Does anyone know of a "slim" or flat-ish pedometer? I want to wear mine, but as vain as it sounds, I don't like the bump that comes with it... especially in summertime. Also, it seems that it's more likely to get bumped on things and fall off....

any ideas? or brands? :)

Don't know if this helps, but I have the Omron HJ-112 and find that it works fine in either a pants pocket or shirt pocket, so I don't bother with the belt clip, etc. And it's a nice model in other respects. Got mine from Amazon for under $20.

falt or slim pedometer

I have not tried this one but recently heard some decent reviews about the SPORTLINE ThinQ Pocket Pedometer $29.99
PROS:
- 3 mm thin
- Counts steps and distance
- Measures calories burned
- comes in different colors

CONS:
Has no button cover, can accidentally reset itself
Needs to be carried straight up and down for accuracy
must not be tilted or slanted

They also have a pedometer you can wear on your wrist like a watch, same link below but it's more expensive.
955 Pedometer Watch (it's a heart rate moniter & pedometer) $49.99

If you search the SPORTLINE ThinQ Pocket Pedometer + Reviews, you might get a better idea of user opinions.
I just had my pedometer get mangled by the lawn mower - it must have fallen off while wearing it on my belt, so I was checking online for options.

I had the Omron HJ-112 also, but I found it not to be very accurrate when I had it in my pocket despite what their manual says. Maybe if it's properly set up from the beginning, it would be more accurrate but I didn't have that experience
